Ukraine's army released a video on Thursday showing how its forces successfully recaptured Snake Island from Russia , shortly after Moscow said it withdrew its forces from the strategic Black Sea outpost as a "gesture of goodwill." Moscow said on Thursday that its forces had "finished fulfilling their tasks" and "demonstrated that Russia is not blocking the UN's efforts to organise a humanitarian corridor to export agricultural goods from Ukraine." Kyiv pushed back against Russia's statement, saying that it drove Russian President Vladimir Putin 's troops from the island with military force in an overnight assault.

Soaked in history, the Royapuram station sent the first train in the southern part of the country, chugging out, on June 28, 1856. The activity and erstwhile power of the Royapuram railway station, which was once the railway terminus and the headquarters, might have faded, but the heritage building has a place in the city, and not just its architectural logs. On the eventful day of June 28, 1856, the first passenger train carrying Governor Lord Harris and 300 European delegates was operated from the Royapuram railway terminus to Wallajah Road (now called Walajabad in Kancheepuram district). On the same day, a second train was operated from the railway terminus to ‘Triveloor’ … [Read more...] about Royapuram railway station holds an impeccable place in Indian railway history
